French artist & playlist curator (#indie, #modernclassical #piano)
Hello, I am Byebyefish, a French artist from Garches near Paris. I explore two main musical styles: Neoclassical Piano and Indie Rock.
In the early 2000’s I started to compose piano short pieces inspired by classical masters such as Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel or Erik Satie and by musicians like Yann Tiersen. Some other piano-vocal songs followed from 2007. Then I recorded a lullabies album dedicated to my newborn daughter Lucie in 2011, trying to reach melodic, blissful, and streamlined piano pieces.
I was a member of Tiret Project (French/Australian Indie Rock, 2013-2015) and Emo Echo (French Indie Pop, 2015-2017). These two bands were a good opportunity to experience new keyboard sounds or effects.
Shortly after, I started composing Indie Folk guitar songs (inspired by many references including Radiohead, The National, Grizzly Bear or Kings of Convenience) writing and singing most of lyrics in French. My LP conceptual album about couple crises ‘De pénombres en lumières’ (From shade to light) has been released in January 2020, receiving very good feedback from international medias and listeners.
Since 2021, I have released several new neoclassical solo piano singles. The pieces combine melancholic, relaxing and romantic moods, with deeply expressive composition and playing. ‘First Breaths’ (out on February 3rd, 2023) is the latest single.
